The problems with operating a 50 hz unit on a 60 hz power source or vice verse will cause many problems. Some functions my not work at all or maybe they will in a degraded mode. It would not take too long for the thing to blow up though...not literally, but turn itself into a large paper weight. If you want to get them a machine you should order it online or through the international leg of the company who makes it.

Never plug a 110 volt anything into a 220 volt supply and never plug a 220 volt anything into a 110 volt supply. They are just not designed to do so. Their electronic's power supply and their motors are specifically for the specific voltages. Changing the plug at the end does absolutely nothing.I just hope I have got to you in time!!!

If the water does not get hot, I assume the machine does not complete its programme? Since you have changed the stat, AND checked the element I think the timer may be faulty.
OR has a wire burned off in the heater circuit somewhere? You can test for a 240 volt supply at the two ends of the heat element with a meter, or even a 240 volt bulb.
!!BE CAREFUL!! !!OF 240 VOLTS !!

Cant understand how the machine will revolve on the 'spin cycle' & yet you can hear the motor on the 'wash cycle' but yet it doesnt revolve!!
Nomally if the water fills, & the tub revolves without the programmer advancing, its because the heater is not working. ie faulty thermostat, heat element, or maybe a wire burned off in the 'heater circuit'. Check if you have 240 volts at both ends of the heat element, with a meter or 240 volt bulb
!! BE CAREFUL OF 240VOLTS!!
